This is a clear case of government-sanctioned kidnapping. Loving and caring parents get called into CPS and it flies out of control unnecessarily. Anytime you bring your kids into view (like a hospital) of the system, you are in danger of such an atrocity. They probably are not poor, as CPS wants people with wages so they can garnish them.

Don't worry, Jesse, us "right-wingers" are on this and will not let it stand.

Despite our other differences, this is beyond that! Rock on, bro!

I was hoping some Supertopo lefties up here in Nor Cal would help out..."for the children".....

Spend some time following a few social workers around. Their caseloads are enormous, and the preference is always to try to keep a child with his family, unless it is not in the best interests of the child.

You could ask my younger brother if he would have preferred not being removed from the care of his birth mother. He was six months old when he came to us as a foster child. No one had ever noticed he was completely allergic to milk. His lips turned blue the first time my mother fed him. Thank God she was a nurse (and later a social worker) and recognized his lack of nutrition immediately. Six months later he officially became my brother.

We had two other foster siblings growing up, one went back to her mother once her mother was able to stabilize her life, and the other was adopted by a family with many other adopted foster children.

There are rules in place for a reason. I did not read the links above, but I suspect there is more to this story.

You want to put your energy into something that will make a difference? Take in a foster child and give him a stable, loving environment. Become a big brother and mentor a child at risk. Make a commitment to making a difference in a child's life.
